I walk the darker path that many fear to travel. I do not see my way, I feel my way, and many times I stumble. But that's okay for the more I fall, the more I learn, and eventually I can skip the trouble. The darker path is the longer path, but it makes all worth while. The brighter path is easier and hence it is more traveled. But also it is crowded and filled with confused people. I move among the shadows for the shadows move with me. It is quiet here and I can hear the woods around me. They speak to me and tell me things that none could ever hear in the light. I do not ask you to join me on this darker path, until you are ready. It is not for all, for some can not bear the falls. Please take your time and prepare yourself if you wish to travel. The darker path is there and will be there when you are able. If you do not wish to walk with me, then don't try to understand. Just accept me as I am, and move it a litte further along down the line.
My free time is usually consumed by making loops into music and the occasional writing.  I don't render anymore and my photoshop skills have been lately confined to business.  My true art lies in my soul with my music, which I document as regularly as I can at my website: http://www.van-dan.com (absolute lunacy, just realized I had changed the text of the link, but not the link itself, it still pointed to the old site. Just updated it to point to the correct site, lets see how this goes!) Facebook too! Stay tuned, insanity to pursue.

Usually I have to go back every once in a while and change my descriptions as my perspectives on life change over time, but the above was written over 3 or 4 years ago and I can't change it. It fits fairly well. All I really did was remove an outdated reference to MySpace, and update my URL to my new homepage.
I also wanted to add a link to my completed album, Flight of the Airlynx, of which the mp3's are freely available to download but you can buy the professionally produced album from CreateSpace: https://www.createspace.com/1823112
It should be available on Amazon as well, but I actually earn a few extra dollars if it sells through my direct store since Amazon takes a larger commission.

It is strange how we tend to open up here on line to people we don't really know in many aspects. I am sure all this happened for a reason and you have learned allot from folks and their comments...wishing you the best in whatever lies ahead...and yes, those are great words you wrote...listen to the old guy(s).

wise words "Tallpockets" now life means more as you learn to enjoy with beauty and truth what life is suppose to be and still trails along the way will challenge you to open as pain can still follow the choices that come along wonderful words warm hugs, Linda

''And I realize the older I get the more Tallpocket's random comments make sense. A new theme in life arises now, listen to the old guy.'' HELLO! "LIFE is what HAPPENS as you PLAN it". WINK. Sometimes, this old man has learned, there are those who have simply been down 'that road' BEFORE you have traveled such. It doesn't make them WISER. It's just that they've seen the 'future' before others in THEIR time travel warp on this earth. My BEST to you and yours, KIND SOUL. It's WISE to look back to see WHAT made you YOU. Just don't get caught up totally in the PAST or you'll FORGET to LIVE for TODAY and the FUTURE. TallPockets/bls35mm/brian.

That's art for ya... I think we all display our bleeding hearts for the world to pick at, regardless of what we intend... I have read a few of your posts, and you are right. Happiness and sadness go hand in hand. You can't have one without the other- It's just "balance" I guess. Good to learn from it tho' Nice work...
